I 100% agree.

For a release *candidate* it probably doesn't matter much whether
source tarballs are available, but I do feel they are necessary for an
actual release. And I think a Windows binary is likewise absolutely
critical. Lots of new people who are looking for a CMS will never try
Lenya if they have trouble getting the source code from SVN or
building the app, especially if the other CMS's (the competition) are
easier to try. You have to remember that people may be looking at
dozens of competing products and may not have the time to work out
exactly why SVN or a build process isn't working for them. The 1.4
release is a big improvement over 1.2.4 and, to over-simplify a bit,
lowering the evaluation effort can only help win over more new users.
very much agreed
Michi
